Jim Winn || Principal Agent & Team Leader- JW Homes, Inc.

Born and raised primarily in the Montgomery County suburbs of Washington, D.C., Jim and Tessa, along with their 3 children, are grateful to call this region, home. Jim is proud of his military heritage as both of his parents served in the U.S. Army, and his mother would eventually serve in Real Estate for nearly 30 years, making Jim a 2nd-Generational REALTOR.

Jim received his Bachelor of Science from Boyce College and completed some graduate studies at Southern Seminary. After moving back home to MD after school, Jim graduated from the Sovereign Grace Churches Pastors College and then served on staff at Covenant Life Church in full-time vocational ministry. While Jim enjoyed working at Covenant Life, a growing desire to transition into the marketplace led to the eventual career move to full-time Real Estate in 2008.

As the principal agent and team leader of JW Homes, Inc., Jim leads a team of 6 that includes 2 other licensed agents, full-time administrative assistance, and transaction and marketing coordinators- and therefore is able to provide enhanced, top-notch services to his clients- transactionally and relationally. Jim loves to negotiate, communicate, and has a fierce passion to love and serve his clients, each step of the way and beyond, in what is usually the single largest and perhaps most important investment someone will ever make in their lifetime.

As a Real Estate consultant, Jim is not looking for a one-time transaction, but rather aspires to be your trusted advisor who provides personal and professional services for life!

Jim’s clients automatically become members of his exclusive “Client Appreciation Program” in which they receive numerous ongoing services, and fun opportunities throughout the year. And if you need a good service or trades professional, Jim is happy to connect you to his network of business relationships through his extensive business directory. Jim is a long-time “One2One” member of the largest Real Estate business coaching network in North America, (Buffini & Company) and leads a monthly Success Group for regional agents. Jim is also an exclusive member of Dave Ramsey’s Real Estate Entre-Leadership- “All-Access” program, part of which includes a monthly Mastermind network with agents across the country. Through these memberships, Jim is not only a regional, but a national agent, and with his high-level real estate connections across the country, Jim is therefore able to provide enhanced services to his clients who may be re-locating into and out of the area.

Aside from his passion for helping buyers and sellers achieve their home dreams, Jim is a sports enthusiast, enjoys physical fitness, reading, serving in his local church, (has coordinated Dave Ramsey’s “FPU” course), and hanging out with his wife and kids, family and friends.
